Maybe Someday by Colleen Hoover Review

Sydney is living in an
idyllic bubble—she's a dedicated student with a steady job on the side.
She lives with her best friend, has a great boyfriend, and the music
coming from the balcony opposite hers is fast becoming the soundtrack to
her life. But when Sydney finds out her boyfriend is cheating on her,
the bubble bursts. The mysterious and attractive man behind the music,
Ridge, gives Sydney hope that she can move on and they begin to write
songs together. But moving on is harder than she expects, Sydney can
only hope….

Maybe someday…

Colleen Hoover draws you in to this passionate tale of music, love and betrayal…

Finding out that
your boyfriend is cheating on you is bad. When it is with your
bestfriend and roommate, it only makes it worse. Then, on top of
that, on your birthday. Then, for the cherry on top, you find out
through a guy you don’t even know that lives across from you. This
is Sydney’s reality. So out a best friend and boyfriend, and really
not wanting to run to her closed minded parents, she stays with the
stranger that told her about the cheating. What could possibly go
wrong?

Going to start this
review off by saying that I knew going into this book that I would
probably put it down. I didn’t want to not like a Colleen Hoover
book, so I tried it. But I will get into that more in my dislikes.
For the things I liked in this book? Ridge. He is deaf and he signs
which I love. I am currently learning ASL, and even though Hoover
could put more signs into the book, it was still nice to see. And the
writing. As always, Colleen Hoover is amazing with words. That wasn’t
the issue.

And yes, there was
an issue. Warning, there is a spoiler ahead, so if you don’t want
to know stop here. I mean it, like stop reading now. Just skip to the
bottom. There is cheating in this book from the main character
Sydney. Ridge has a girlfriend, Sydney knows, and things still
happen. I just can’t. I know things aren’t always black and
white, but that is a subject I refuse to sympathize with. If he had
broken up with his girlfriend before, or heck even after the first
kiss, maybe I could have moved passed it. But he didn’t. I didn’t
stick around long enough to read why “he couldn’t” break up
with Maggie and I didn’t care. If he couldn’t break up with her,
Sydney should have figured out other living arrangements after the
first incident. Another problem I had with this book was her name.
Sydney is so overused in New Adult books.

Overall I gave this
book 2 out of 5 stars. Originally it was 1.5, but I really do love Colleen Hoover. I am not saying you wouldn’t like this
book. I didn’t like this book, and put it down half at 70%, due to
my feelings on cheating. Even though I gave this book a low rating, I
will read Maybe Not. I did really like the minor characters in this
book.
